The course will cover various key aspects of cross-border activities from a business, logistics and regulatory point of view.
It is aimed specifically, but not exclusively, at the movement of goods to the UK from the EU and vice versa in the event of ‘no deal’.
It is delivered in a very open and flexible way, covering the key areas but so that the concerns of the participants are addressed rather than just following a rigid agenda.
The course encourages participants to discuss their concerns and raise their questions regarding the potential customs and border issues in the event of ‘no deal’.
